Terrance Fisher's acclaimed seminal Hammer horrors The Mummy (1958) is resurrected as it arrives by Second Sight Films on Standard Edition Blu-ray complete with a slew of special features on 25th May 2026.

Starring screen icon Peter Cushing (Dracula, Star Wars), The Mummy sees Cushing give a haunting turn as an Egyptologist who discovers an ancient tomb and inadvertently unleashes the vengeful mummy of an Egyptian priest played by horror legend, Christopher Lee (Dracula, The Wicker Man, The Lord of The Rings).

In 1890s Egypt, a team of British archaeologists: John Banning (Cushing), his father Stephen Banning (Felix Aylmer), and Uncle Joseph Whemple (Raymond Huntley), discover the untouched tomb of Princess Ananka (Yvonne Furneaux). Inside the tomb, Peter discovers The Scroll of Life and, when he reads it aloud, he unknowingly brings the mummified body of the high priest Kharis (Lee) back to life...

Three years later and the group have returned to England, unaware of the nefarious consequences of their actions. A follower of the same Egyptian religion unleashes The Mummy to exact grisly revenge on the despoilers of the acred past. As the creature edges nearer to exact its revenge, can anything save them from its relentlessly vicious and vengeful mission?
